Welcome to Day Two of Rainforest World Music Festival 2013 (RWMF2013) - this is an entry of my experience be at this festival. Most photos in this entry credit to Sarawak Tourism Board unless stated otherwise.

By 10:30am, I had already arrived at the media centre to get my daily pass into Sarawak Cultural Village and also I took the opportunity to transfer data from the memory card to the camera pen drive and to have a cup of hot coffee and even update a bit my blog.



Around 1pm, i make my move to Bayridge Cafe at Damai Central for a lunch break and once i'm done then i proceed to Sarawak Cultural Village for some workshops.

The first workshop i'm looking forward to attending is called "Call Of The Ceili" :
Location : Dewan Lagenda
Time : 2pm - 2:45pm

This is an interactive Irish Dance lead by Rossa O Snodaigh (KILA). They teach us a few steps that lead to many and in the end, I think I've lost a lot of fat because of this dance. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))LOL!!!



A Ceili (Read: Kay-Lee) is a traditional Gaelic social gathering, which usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing.

A Ceili dance may be performed with as few as two people and as many as sixteen. Ceili dances may also be danced with an unlimited number of couples in a long line or proceeding around in a circle and often fast and complex.

This dance is best facilitated for ice breaking, courting and prospects of marriage for young people, back in yesteryears. Cool eh...? 






It's really fun.. as expected!! If you want to know more about the step of this dance.. please watch this video below.



Right after that, heading down back to the theatre for the next workshop,

Blowpipes in Borneo
Location: Theatre
Time : 3pm - 3:45pm
Lead by Mohsen Sharifian. The instrumentalist is:

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟMohsen Sharifian and The Lian Band - Ney-anban

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟJakob Holdensen (Habadekuk) - Trumpet

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟAnton Smirnov (Spiritual Seasons) - Bagpipes

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟAnders Ringgaard (Habadekuk) - Trombone

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟEoin Dillon (Kila) - Uileann pipes

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟAndor Vegh (Kries) - Gajde, diple, dude

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟAaron Martin (Nunukul Yuggera) - Didgeridoo

( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡ﾟRasmus Fribo (Habadekuk) - Saxophone

The special accompanist on the keyboard is Mr Theis Langlands (Habadekuk)









I find it very fascinating. It's not easy to do it especially the Didgeridoo (Australian Aboriginal instrument).

The Art Of War
Location : Dewan Lagenda
Time : 4pm - 4:45pm

This is superb because visitors have their chance to see and experience how the Australians (Nunukul Yuggera ) and the Africans (Ibuyambo Ensemble) challenge each other to a war dance duel.





The referees are Soren Lund from Habedekuk and Edgar Arboleda Campos from Rey Vallenato Beto Jamaica while another referee in the 'ring' is Thomas David from Pine Leaf Boys.

I manage to get a very good view and in the end join forces with the Australians to duel with the Africans.｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡
It's so fun and all we have to do is chants "Ozzi Ozzi Ozzi" or reply to the chants with "Oii... Oii... Oii..."

The Africans drums beat is surely something you cant ignored. Really make you want to dance instead of war.

I am not sure who won, but I'm sure all are amused.

NTGravity: Looking forward to tonight...
Haiittt~
